Teaching Philosophy: I believe learning should be a fun and worthwhile activity for both the student and the teacher.  I hope to challenge my students to think critically and to become independent learners.

Greeting to Students: N/A

Statement of usual method of evaluation of students (number of tests, essay paper, book reviews, etc.):  I prefer to conduct the “lecture” portions of my courses as guided discussions — the more student involvement the better.  In most of the courses I teach, there is plenty of “hands on” lab time to learn and practice the skills that are integral to the learning outcomes of the courses.

Professional Associations: Texas Community College Teachers Assoc.
